TUNA STACK WITH WONTON CHIPS
If you are a sushi lover, this Tuna Stack with Wonton Chips is for you! Easy to make (no rolling skills required) and full of all the flavours from a poke bowl or sushi roll in a dipp-able, scoop-able stack! Fresh avocado, mango, sushi grade tuna, sushi rice and a drizzle of spicy mayo with oven baked wonton crisps, come together for this light lunch or crowd pleasing appetizer.
We LOVE sushi in our house. Making it at home can be a bit intimidating; but this recipe is far from complicated. Using our Tuna Poke Bowl recipe, we figured out how to make one of our favourite restaurant appetizers to order, at home! Don’t feel like making it how we did in a measuring cup? You don’t need to! This is great piled on top of each other for a more rustic version with all the same flavours. But trust me, putting it all in a measuring cup was actually SUCH a good little hack. It turned out stunning!
How to Make a Tuna Stack
To make the stack, we simply used a standard 1 cup dry measuring cup! We lightly oiled it with cooking spray (this is key!) Then fill it with layers of the marinated tuna, mango, avocado, finishing with sushi rice and pressing down firmly on the top (using a spoon helps!). Flip upside down and remove the measuring cup slowly to reveal the tuna stack before high-fiving yourself! Garnish the stack with pea shoots, sesame seeds and drizzle with spicy mayo. Voilà! A totally restaurant worthy tuna stack. Note that it’s important to use sushi-grade fish that has been flash frozen. Your local fish store should have what you need.
How to Make Wonton Chips
If you want to open a bag of tortilla chips for this recipe, there will be no judgment here! But trust me when I say these wonton chips go so well with this dish and are very easy to make. Using packaged wonton wrappers, simple brush with oil, pinch of salt (can keep the shape in a square or triangle) and bake at 400 F for 3-4 minutes until golden. Note: they cook super quick so stay close to the oven!
